To encourage elected Federal Officials to actually make progress towards a balanced budget, all salaries to them should be stopped and not restarted until there is a balanced Federal Budget in place and it is active and in effect. On the day that happens, salaries may resume. There should be no retroactive payments under this provision. With a real cost to our elected Federal Officials, action may start to happen. If it does not, then they can serve Pro Bono until such time action is taken.
